Black Leaves Dance Company: Sons of Douglass

Confronting questions of masculinity, race, sexuality and religion, the Leaves find strength in the prophetic words of Frederick Douglass and other Black poet-philosophers. Their wisdom, derived from pain, guides them toward self-actualization. Through this, they shine light on family dynamics, the continued struggle with systemic racism, and the ever empowering, but complex relationship with God.
